Virus Doctor, or VirusDoctor, is a rogue anti-spyware program that uses fake system messages as a scare tactic. Virus Doctor is a clone of Power Antivirus 2009, Antivirus 2009, Vista Antivirus 2009 and Antivir64. Virus Doctor is often downloaded and installed by a Trojan, through browser security holes, or via other unconventional and unethical mechanisms.

Virus Doctor attempts to get computer users to believe that they must purchase the full version of Virus Doctor to "fix" their computer. Virus Doctor may come from a Trojan infection or a malicious website. Virus Doctor may be difficult to manually remove in some cases.

get a free program called malwarebytes,that should get rid of it

It's a rogue program, here's an approach to get shot of it....

In order to successfully remove malware infections (viruses, spyware, adware etc) from your PC you need to follow a methodical approach as well as using effective (and free) tools. There’s a decent guide covering this that you can work through at My Slow PC (http://www.MySlowPC.co.uk/) – click on the “Troubleshooting” link. Here’s my advice from it:

1.) Turn System Restore OFF so any infection that you remove is not restored.

2.) Scan with a combination of the best detection utilities as you’ll find different scanners can sometimes pick up different infections. E.g.

* McAfee Stinger – a free stand-alone utility used to detect and remove specific viruses.
* SpyBot Search & Destroy – a spyware/adware scanner
* Lavasoft Adaware – for spyware/adware

Note – it might be a good idea to disconnect your network connection once you’ve updated them with the latest virus/spyware definitions. This is due to the fact that often an infection is trying to spread over your network.

3.) If the above fails or you’re not sure if you’re still infected, when you start your PC tap the F8 key, select “Safe Mode” and repeat the scans once you’re connected.

I hope the above helps, as mentioned the guide above is a lot more detailed and the My Slow PC site is pretty useful. Good luck!
